Wang Muman thought something had happened, and her brother's voice became much louder.
"Grandma Yan Cheng, Yan Cheng gave this to me on my birthday, saying Grandma asked for it for me, and there's a peace charm too!"
The string was hand-knitted, clearly handmade, and a little ugly at that.
"Oh, I'll go see Grandma with you next time and let her know she's put in a lot of effort." Wang Mujin had initially thought it was a gift from some young boy to Wang Muman.
"Go to sleep. You've worked hard all week. Sleep early and wake up early. After you finish your homework tomorrow, I'll take you out for a meal to meet my girlfriend."
Wang Muman's eyes suddenly widened, "Is it that sudden?"
"What, you don't want to meet her?" Wang Mujin flicked Wang Muman's forehead.
Wang Muman nodded frantically, only able to say she was very much looking forward to it.
Before falling asleep, Wang Muman was still thinking: A sister-in-law is like a mother, will my sister-in-law have a maternal glow?
The next day, Wang Muman completed all her tasks and eagerly put on a floral dress, turning around in front of the full-length mirror by the door.
Wang Mujin didn't expect Wang Muman to wear a dress, "Sister, it's not that serious, it's not a blind date!"
"This is formal. If I look pretty, I'll be likable." Wang Muman turned around again.
They arrived at a Japanese restaurant, and Wang Mujin asked Wang Muman to sit and wait while he went to pick someone up.
The private room door opened again, and Wang Muman saw a girl with big wavy hair, wearing a red dress, exuding an aura of dominance.
"You're Muman, right? I'm your future sister-in-law. My name is Bai Yuqing." The girl greeted her first. Wang Mujin made space for her to sit.
"Hello, Sister." Wang Muman still spoke shyly.
"Don't be nervous. I know you get nervous easily. We, your brother's female colleagues, have talked about you before. That show, oh no, the bullet comments, they were very popular."
Wang Muman's face turned red, and she looked to Wang Mujin for help.
"Stop teasing her. Look, she's blushing." Wang Mujin said to Bai Yuqing, and then signaled the waiter to order food.
"Hahaha, don't be shy. We're just old and like to watch stories about young people." Bai Yuqing's demeanor was a stark contrast to the initial impression of dominance Wang Muman had of her.
Wang Muman nodded and sat opposite them, feeling like a third wheel, shining brightly.
"This Japanese restaurant is good. I specifically chose it. I'm a good eater," Bai Yuqing said to Wang Muman.
Wang Muman fidgeted and nodded again.
"Hahaha, your sister is really cute. She only nods." Bai Yuqing smiled and looked at Wang Mujin.
Wang Muman immediately spoke up, "I can say 'mm-hmm'."
"I finally know why Wang Mujin is a bit blunt. It's genetic."
"How am I blunt? Am I not considerate? I've been taking care of my sister for years." Wang Mujin retorted, asking Wang Muman if it was true.
Bai Yuqing stopped asking and looked at the food on the table.
Wang Mujin directly placed her favorite dish in front of her, "Aren't I taking care of you now?" his tone a little childish.
Bai Yuqing quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, you're the most considerate."
Then there was a period of silence as they savored the delicious food. Wang Muman thought Bai Yuqing wouldn't be like her family, but it turned out she also didn't talk much during meals. Ever since eating with He Lele, Zhou Mingyu, and the others, she understood why some people were so socially adept.
Wang Muman secretly watched their interactions, feeling that her brother was more lively, engaging in playful banter.
